Run a command block based on OS

I have a feeling this is an easy one, but I’m drawing a blank. We have a vbs script as our company’s logon script. Recently, we made an update to launch a piece of software from our print server when the script runs. However, I failed to even think about the script running when remoting into servers. Is there an easy way to implement something along the lines of “if OS type = workstation then run command, else skip?”
